Mikiel, the Agenda Kids Club mascot, is making a special appearance during the annual MADC pantomime at the Manoel Theatre.

During the show, children are called up on stage to take part in a high-energy mini-Olympics hurdle race, after which Mikiel will be handing out gifts from Agenda Kids Club.

“A lot of investment and energy went into the creation of the Agenda Kids Club and Mikiel was created to encourage reading and literacy amongst children – this is the main objective behind the club”, explained Agenda Bookshops marketing manager Simon Debono. “Being part of such an immensely popular show, with a captivated audience of youngsters, is a great opportunity to broadcast our message”.

MADC’s Hercules – The Panto is playing to packed houses until 14 January.
